Elder sister got married and two others are doing their studies. Shankar's elder brother Subrahmanyan is also with him in Snehabhavan. His younger brother stays with his parents. Shankar, this enthusiatic child happen to be in Snehabhavan, because his parents couldn't afford to look after him and carry forward his studies. He is a jovial person who seem to have nothing to worry. But often children of his age would like to be always in a playful mood. Deep inside his heart he cherishes a soft and sad feeling for his family.

With a dreamful mind, he looks at the future hopefully.
